失去的象牙塔：大学生如何比普通公众更积极地应对COVID-19大流行病
The Ivory Tower Lost: How College Students Respond Differently than the General Public to the COVID-19 Pandemic
摘要：
最近，新型冠状病毒疾病-2019（COVID-19）的大流行为政府带来了终极挑战。在美国，确诊COVID-19感染病例最多的国家，总统已实施全国性的社交距离协议。自1918年流感大流行以来，一百年来第一次，美国人被要求呆在家里，避免与公众接触。因此，大多数公共场所和服务已停止运作。华盛顿大学3月7日停课后，美国千余所高校取消了面授课程和校园活动，影响了数百万学生。本文旨在通过挖掘人们在社交媒体上的观点，发现这种前所未有的破坏在我们的互动社会中对普通公众和高等教育人群的社会影响。我们发现大量COVID-19推文中包含的几个主题代表了与大流行相关的最核心问题，这是大学生和公众都非常关注的问题。此外，我们发现这两组Twitter用户对COVID-19问题的看法存在显著差异。据我们所知，这是第一个基于社交媒体的研究，重点是大学生社区的人口统计数据和重大危机期间对普遍社会问题的反应。
英文摘要：
Recently, the pandemic of the novel Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) has presented governments with ultimate challenges. In the United States, the country with the highest confirmed COVID-19 infection cases, a nationwide social distancing protocol has been implemented by the President. For the first time in a hundred years since the 1918 flu pandemic, the US population is mandated to stay in their households and avoid public contact. As a result, the majority of public venues and services have ceased their operations. Following the closure of the University of Washington on March 7th, more than a thousand colleges and universities in the United States have cancelled in-person classes and campus activities, impacting millions of students. This paper aims to discover the social implications of this unprecedented disruption in our interactive society regarding both the general public and higher education populations by mining people's opinions on social media. We discover several topics embedded in a large number of COVID-19 tweets that represent the most central issues related to the pandemic, which are of great concerns for both college students and the general public. Moreover, we find significant differences between these two groups of Twitter users with respect to the sentiments they expressed towards the COVID-19 issues. To our best knowledge, this is the first social media-based study which focuses on the college student community's demographics and responses to prevalent social issues during a major crisis.
